What went Boom?
Chapter 21
Hodgins fell to the floor and covered his head with his arms. He heard a gunshot and thought for sure he was injured. He felt his head and there was no blood. He wasn't in pain. It wasn't him. He looked up to see Booth standing over Nichols' body.
"Are you okay?" Booth held out a hand to help Hodgins up.
"Yeah man, thanks, you just saved my life."
"You saved mine by coming in here. Where's Bones?"
"She's in the car. What should we do about him?" Hodgins looked back at the still unconscious Agent lying on the floor.
"He won't be out for much longer. We need to call this in but I have something I need to do first."
Booth turned and went out the door of the café. Temperance was already walking towards him when he caught sight of the car.
"Oh thank goodness you are okay. I heard the shot and thought it was you." Booth wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Hey, I'm fine, we are fine. I know this isn't the greatest place but…" Booth got down on one knee and took her hand in his "Will you remarry me?"
"Haha, yes I will. Sorry I rushed the divorce, I had to."
"Shhhh….." Booth captured her lips in his own as he heard sirens blaring in the background. "I know."
"Congratulations Dr. Brennan, Booth." Hodgins chimed in from behind them.
"Thanks man." Booth shook Hodgins' hand. "We need to call Cullen."
"I already did." Temperance didn't have time to finish her words when she heard sirens blaring towards them.
A black SUV pulled up beside them and Agent Cullen stepped out. "You never learn to you Booth?" he laughed.
"No sir." Booth walked over to Cullen hand in hand with Temperance.
"Well, this time I am glad you didn't." He patted Booth on the back.
"Does this mean I get my job back?"
"Yes, but you are still on probation and I will be keeping my eye on you Booth."
"Yes sir." Booth nodded.
"But we can deal with all that Monday. You need to take a few days."
"Will do sir. Agent Cameron was involved he is unconscious in the back."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. We have proof and a witness."
"Okay, don't worry, they will find him." Cullen looked towards the café and got on the radio "Come in Peters."
"This is Peters."
"Agent Cameron is unconscious in the back. He is involved in this. Please make sure you arrest him."
"Yes sir."
Cullen turned back to the three still standing in front of him "The ambulance should be here any minute to look at you um…. Dr. Booth? I don't know what to call you."
"I am keeping my name. And I am fine."
"Of course you are Dr. Brennan." Cullen smiled "I just want you to get looked at, make sure everything is okay."
"She will sir." Booth turned to go wait in Angela's car and lead Tempe away from Cullen. He didn't need is wife starting a fight with Cullen just as he gave him is job back.
"I'm perfectly fine Booth. Just bumps and bruises. I could have told Cullen that myself."
"I know you could. Please just let them check you out. That bump on your head looks pretty bad babe."
"Don't call me babe."
Booth laughed "You are going to be my wife. You better get used to me calling you Babe and Bones and whatever else I want to call you!" Booth had a playful tone in his voice.
"Yes sweetheart." She rolled her eyes and turned to Hodgins.
"Call Angela and let her know we are okay."
"I was about to do just that Dr. Brennan. She will be excited."
"About what?"
"Angela is going to be ecstatic to find out you are getting married. This time she won't miss it."
"Great." Temperance laughed at the thought of her friend. She looked up at Booth who was standing in front of her and smiled.
"I love you Booth. Thank you for not giving up on me."
"I love you Bones and I never will."
He leaned over and kissed her.
Temperance was happy. For once in her life she was truly happy and this time she wasn't going to let the man of her dreams get away from her. She smiled.
She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Angela squealing over the phone Hodgins was talking in to.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
A wedding, my wedding. I am actually looking forward to this. And this time I will remember. Temperance bulled her fiancé into another kiss as her thoughts drifted back to the things she had to look forward to in life.
The End
